The energy was unmatched as we hosted our partners, Deccan Dunkers, for a visit across our centers in Telangana—Krushi Home, TGTWREIS Chegunta, and Sphoorti Foundation.
Hi 5 Youth Foundation began its journey in Telangana in 2018, supported by the vision of Mr. Raju Reddy, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who believed in the power of basketball to transform young lives. Through his introduction, Hi 5 connected with Deccan Dunkers—a U.S.-based, multi-generational basketball community with deep roots in Telangana and a shared passion for the game. This partnership led to the launch of the Hope Thru Hoops program in 2019, starting with the first court at Krushi Home and soon expanding to centers like Jinnaram, reaching over 400 children. Since then, Deccan Dunkers have remained committed partners, they brought this connection to life—spending time across our Telangana centers, playing alongside the children, while they were with us.
During their recent visit, the Deccan Dunkers experienced this journey firsthand—beginning at Krushi Home, moving through the high energy of TGTWREIS, Chegunta, and ending with moments of joy at Sphoorti Foundation. Across each center, they spent time with our children—watching them play, cheering them on, and even stepping onto the court alongside them.
